THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
We, The Women
Odds And Ends
On The Campus
"There will always be weather
whether or not” as some ancient
sage has stated, but we can thank
the cold weather for the advance
fashion plates on muff crea
tions which the well-dressed col
lege man will wear next Winter.
They are warm. But that is all
we can say for them.
The male element wonders if
the cold weather isn’t worth
shivering about when it brings
such gorgeous legs to view. Won’t
women ever learn never to roll
their stockings?
JVSGA Senate delegated to
Mortar Board the job of making
a new field of coed activities.
The old personnel cards, long
outmoded, have never served a
purpose because there was no
efficient filing system.
The new cards will be indexed
by WSGA- annual activities and
will enable Senate to use the
system when committees are ap
pointed rather than picking
members from random.
The corridors in the LA Build
ing look alike. Thereby hangs
a tale of a faculty woman who
was washing her hands in the
faculty women’s lavatory. The
floors had just been waxed. The
door burst open, a six-foot-two
upperclassman burst in and slid
across the room. His embarrass
ment was evidenced by his ex
clamation, “Oh, my God!” while
the faculty member reacted in
her usual good-humored stride.
Which goes to show that the
wax is too waxy, the signs not
legible, or that the building is
too large for anyone to find his
way in except the men who built
it.
Human progress is wonderful
but an awful nuisance when you
are in a hurry.

In Student Chats
To keep up with a man's in
terests every college woman
should be prepared to talk about
what war is going on where,
whether Congress passed the
Lend-Lease bill, and other such
current events.
She should be up on her sports
enough to discuss players’ names,
competing teams,, and scoring,
and have a general acquaintance
with popular radio programs,
movies, and music, according to
results of a conversational sur
vey conducted by Eugene T. Mc-
Donald, instructor in speech, and
explained last night to a group
of Atherton Hall women.

Sarcasm heads the list of men’s

Women want attention, first, are
disturbed by profanity, stub

in men.
Bull sessions are productive in
that they solve personal prob
lems, offer leadership and recre
ation, but their educational value
is limited despite popular con
